Dynamic communications and marketing professional with entrepreneurial experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in communications, marketing, and organizational psychology. My journey began at the University of Cape Town, where I earned my honors degree in Organizational Psychology. Since then, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that includes digital marketing, event planning, and team management, allowing me to thrive in various roles.
Currently, I serve as the Head of Communications and Alumni Relations at SOS Hermann Gmeiner International College (SOS-HGIC) where I lead communications, marketing and public relations efforts, significantly increasing alumni engagement and stakeholder satisfaction. Additionally, I am a Hostel Tutor, at SOS-HGIC, where I ensure the holistic growth of students while managing hostel operations. My entrepreneurial spirit shines through my role as the Founder and CEO of Nuelle Organics, where I successfully launched a natural hair product line that achieved remarkable sales growth.
With a proven track record of enhancing brand visibility and fostering team collaboration, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create impactful marketing strategies and drive organizational success.
